Dear Diary,
On our last day in Alor Setar, we made a family excursion to
Kedah State Museum. From 6 May until 6 June 2012, there was Bisa Berbisa Snake
Exhibition held at the museum. My brother had brought his daughters to the
exhibition before; so my nieces had been telling my children all about it. Kids
being kids, their curiosity got the best of them. Imran and Zarra kept on
pestering us to bring them there too. Tickets were RM4 for adults and RM2 for
kids. Very reasonably priced!
Lucky for us, we arrived just in time for the last snake
show to start. There were live shows being performed daily. The room was packed
with visitors. Two snake charmers entertained the audiences with all sorts of
routines. I’m certain they possess vast experience and knowledge because they
were at ease around those reptiles. Sure ada ilmu! They played around with ular
katam tebu, ular daun, ular sawa (python), ular tedung and ular tedung
selar like nobody business.
The snake charmers called for a volunteer to go on stage.
The volunteer had to touch, pick up and put a python on his shoulder. The
highlight of the show was of course them kissing none other than king cobra. At
one point they even teasingly acted throwing a cobra towards the audience. Nak
luruh jantung rasanya!
After the show ended, we proceeded to the exhibition area.
There were many types of snakes on display; big, small, active, idle, colorful,
etc. Some we’re familiar with, while some we’ve never heard of. Geli la wei!!
All in all, it was worth bringing the kids to the
exhibition. They enjoyed themselves and learned something in the process, to
say the least. I too learned a thing or two about the reptiles. To
differentiate between cobra and king cobra is by looking at the back of the
snake’s head. Cobra has a round pattern on its head but king cobra doesn’t have
it. Do you know that king cobra can
spurt its venom until 2 meters length?
